Member Felice concurred, noting she found the same with the options for the NE <br /> Diagonal Trail, and noted the importance to determine which option is most <br /> beneficial and effective to recommend. <br /> Member Stenlund advised that he would like to look at Map #20 (Dale Street) for <br /> the off-road option; but noted the variables in individual rankings. <br /> For the benefit of members, Mr. Schwartz clarified that a ranking of"1" was <br /> considered the highest priority. <br /> Member Stenlund advised that he had ranked segments based on his personal <br /> perspective of connecting loops; while Chair Vanderwall may have done his <br /> ranking based on bus routes and/or safety of children. <br /> Member Felice reiterated that she still wanted the Fairview option included in the <br /> rankings, unless members had a good reason to omit it. <br /> Member Stenlund advised that when he first reviewed the rankings, he considered <br /> that ranking based on whether or not certain other infrastructure needed to be <br /> done; noting that at least two projects needed something major completed to close <br /> the loop. <br /> Member Gjerdingen noted that such a consideration and logic worked for city <br /> work, but not when the city had to work with other organizations (e.g. Ramsey <br /> County or MnDOT) as they liked to see the rest of the grid build-out first. <br /> Member Stenlund concurred; and used Map #16 as a prime example (e.g. Oasis <br /> Pond)that would provide a low cost component to make a safe north/south <br /> connection for Victoria Street. <br /> Member Gjerdingen observed that his individual ranking did not show up on that <br /> segment; but opined that his understanding was that they were only focused on a <br /> certain segment. <br /> Member Felice noted that her ranking didn't show either, but admitted that the <br /> segment with which she was not very familiar. <br /> Member Stenlund noted the areas along Victoria Street with zero sight lines and <br /> numerous curves as well as heavily-vegetated areas; with Member Felice noting <br /> that it also had considerable traffic volumes. <br /> Member DeBenedet pointed out his experience in biking on Victoria Street north <br /> of County Road C-2, as well as his observation of cross-country girl's teams on <br /> that section, and concurred with Member Stenlund as to the wickedly dangerous <br /> curves. Member DeBenedet opined that striping would not help that segment. <br /> Page 4 of 19 <br />
